Agalenidm and Dysderidce. 183 



Clubiona ornata, new sp. 



Plate V, figures 9, 9a. 



Female 8""" long. The abdomen is pointed behind and more 

 narrowed in front than in most species. Both abdomen and cepha- 

 lothorax are less flattened than in most species. The mandibles of 

 the female are not very stout and less swelled at the base than usual. 



This is one of the few sjDecies with a colored pattern on the ab- 

 domen. A dark stripe runs along the middle, of a different width in 

 different individuals, but generally narrow and tapering behind. At 

 the sides of this are two white or light yellow stripes with irregular 

 edges, and beyond this the bi'own sides of the abdomen. PI. v, fig. 

 9. The body is pale underneath. The epigynum is notched at the 

 edge of the transverse fold, fig. 9a. 



Mt. Washington, Dublin, N. H., and Massachusetts. 



Clubiona excepta L. Koch. 



Clubiona pallens Heutz. 



Plate V, figures 10, 10«, 10^ 10c, \Qd. 



Female 7'"™ long, cephalothorax 3""". The abdomen is not usually 

 much larger than the cephalothorax and unlike most species has a 

 pattern on the back similar to that of Aniaurohius and Tegenaria, 

 or in very light individuals consisting of three roAvs of gray spots 

 on a white or pale yellow ground. PI. v, fig. 10«. The cephalothorax 

 and legs are light yellowish brown, dai'kest on the head and mandi- 

 bles. The spinnerets are rather long. The epigynum has two round 

 brown spermathecae that show through the skin, close together just 

 in front of the transverse fold. In front of these are two oblicjue 

 openings directed forward and inward. 



The males are not much smaller than the females. The male 

 palpi are slender, the tibia only a little longer than the patella, and 

 the tarsus nearly as long as both together. The tarsus is oval, about 

 half as wide as long, and rounded on the upper side. The papal 

 organ is narrow and covered by the tarsus. On the inner side is a 

 thin appendage, the free edge of which lies along the middle line 

 and covers the long straight tube. On the outer side near the end 

 of the tube is a straight process directed forward, and at its base a 

 hook directed backward, fig. 10c. At the end of the tibia on the 

 outer side is a short flat process with a small curved tooth on the 

 upper corner, tig. 1()^>.

 tion. Under stones and leaves, sometimes in white cocoons.
